awspylib is a python based library to interact with amazon web services. Currently, it only supports amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3).

awspylib has been developed and tested with python2.5.1 on both Windows XP and Ubuntu 7.1 (Gusty Gibbons). It has also been tested with am EC3 ubuntu7.1 image.

The main use case focus for the development of awspylib has been more "back end" focused. The current implementation of the interface to S3 is really focused on allowing the backup and synchronization of a local file system to S3.

The goal is to next integrate awspylib with PyiNotify to create a low cost, lightweight way to back up changes to local file systems on a EC2 image to S3 and to automatically restore these changes on the restart of an EC2 instance
